Description
This 2006 Piper PA-46-500TP Meridian, N345WT, is a well-kept, one-owner factory high-gross example with a 1,717 lb useful load and nearly every possible option that a buyer could want. The 2021 Garmin retrofit by RC Avionics pairs dual G500 TXi displays with dual GTN 750Xi navigators, a GFC 600 autopilot with SmartGlide, GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar, a GI 275 standby, ADS-B In and Out, and an Alpha Systems angle-of-attack indicator. The airframe and its original PT6A-42A both show 2,639 hours, and a Hartzell five-blade composite propeller was fitted new in 2021. Beringer wheels and brakes, a new pilot's heated windshield (2021), all-LED exterior lighting, and fresh paint and interior in 2021 round it out. Records are complete from delivery, with maintenance by professional shops throughout. Contact Casey Aviation for logbooks, maintenance history, or to schedule an inspection.
